Presidents Report 2020

My dear Behbud colleagues and friends,

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to Behbud’s 46th Annual General Meeting, in this year of our 50th anniversary.

Covid 19 has changed the world in 2020, even our own lives have altered but, by the Grace of Allah, Behbud remains true to its mission of empowering underprivileged women and children.

We were able to achieve almost all the goals that we had set at the beginning of the year. What we had to shelve were the events planned to highlight our 50 years of service. In the pandemic, our first priority became financial stability so that we could continue supporting our beneficiaries and the various Behbud projects.

Financial Performance: The Spring Fiesta was held in February 2020 and, Alhamdolillah, Behbud generated a net income of Rs.7, 222, 946/- A big thank you to the entire Behbud membership for their hard work in making this fundraiser such a success!

Shortly after that the country went into a complete lockdown. Behbud also closed. That meant that none of the projects had any incomes. It became important to ensure that donations and zakat would keep flowing into the organization without any hitch. Arrangements were made to facilitate online donations and zakat payment through the Behbud website and so, despite the lockdown, Behbud received enough zakat and donations to meet our budget. For this we thank Allah and the efforts of our members. Significant earnings were also recorded through good management of Behbud’s investments.

Behbud’s strong financial position made it possible to retain all Behbud employees. No one was laid off and everyone was paid full salaries.

It is my pleasure to note that Behbud’s tax exemption status has been renewed. With this important document in hand it becomes easier to approach corporate donors.

Events before Social Distancing: Before the lockdown in March, Behbud hosted two big events. The help and enthusiasm of the members made these two major events successful:

• Open House: An impressive Open House was held at Clifton Complex in December 2019. More than 77 guests were given a tour of the facilities. Many of the guests were highly impressed by the variety of Behbud’s activities.

• Behbud Spring Fiesta: This annual event once again galvanized the Behbud membership into action, and their hard work made it a resounding success.

Covid 19 lockdown Ration distribution: The Behbud piece workers and lower income staff were hit hard during the extended lockdown imposed by the Government. To alleviate their sufferings, rations were distributed in 4 rounds reaching 562 recipients in a span of three months. The recipients’ ID cards were registered with Sind Relief Initiative to avoid duplication.

Behbud collaborated with the Robin Hood Army through the Osman and Rahima Bai Foundation to collect donations in aid of residents of low-lying and far-flung areas of the city, after the horrific outcome of monsoon rains in August.

Behbud Learning Resource Center (LRC): Many Teacher training sessions were conducted online. Multi Skill Training Program was imparted to 135 teachers, both from Behbud and other NGOs. Online Teacher Training courses were also held for teachers in Rahim Yar Khan and Gharo.

Three inter-active sessions on mental health challenges due to Covid-19 were conducted on Zoom by eminent health-care professionals.

Renovation work on structural assets:

• With the help of a donation from PSO the Behbud Secondary Schools at Clifton Complex were refurbished during the lockdown. • Behbud Education System envisions expansion in the coming years. With this in mind, Mr. Aqeel Bilgrami was requested to make a plan for the fourth floor at Clifton Complex. He has made a preliminary plan with suggestions from members. It will be presented to the membership when finalized. • Repairs of the Kalapul Schools were completed. • Behbud Creation Shop on Zamzama had a major termite issue which was addressed. • For security purpose a CCTV was installed at Mehmoodabad Center and staff was trained to check daily footage. • The administration office at Clifton Complex was totally revamped. We thank Mr. Aqeel Bilgrami who not only devised the new layout but visited many times to monitor the work in progress.

Future renovation plans: Since Mehmoodabad Center requires a complete overhaul, plans are being made to demolish the present building and rebuild it to better fit its needs. We are seeking a sponsor for this renovation.

Sponsorships and Donations In-Kind:

• Sui Southern Gas Company has made a donation to sponsor deserving students, 20 in Computer courses and 30 in Industrial Home classes. • The Academy School donated their furniture to Behbud Schools. It was allocated to all the education projects according to need.

Documentation and Centralization of records: Behbud has been growing in the past 50 years and now needs to adopt modern governing practices and ensure long term sustainability of it services. The following steps have been taken with this in mind.

• A policy manual has been written for Behbud, this also fulfills Pakistan Center of Philanthropy (PCP) recommendations. • A Human Resource professional has been hired to centralize all Behbud staff records and keep them up-to-date.

Acquisition of new schools: Two schools have been donated to Behbud. These are running institutions and serve 750 needy children which is in line with Behbud’s mission. The transfer of the assets will be in the name of Behbud Association Karachi . One school in Qayummabad and the other in Shirin Jinnah colony.

Projects and Beneficiaries: This year due to the pandemic lockdown imposed by the government, Behbud activities came to a virtual halt. The beneficiary count was hence extremely low.

Total beneficiaries : 19,822

Health 11,623, Education and training 5,563 (children and adults), Vocational training and Income generation 2,064, and Helping Hands 572.

Highlights of Behbud Projects

Behbud Health Services: Mid-December 2019, a Hepatitis-C Clinic was started in collaboration with The Health Foundation and an M.O.U was signed. It is commendable to mention that the Hepatitis-C and TB clinics were run and supervised by its Chair, staff and volunteers throughout the lockdown months. Behbud Health has also administered Hepatitis-C vaccinations to Behbud students in the past.

Behbud Education System: Online classes were started during the lockdown. Assignments were sent on WhatsApp and some classes were conducted on Zoom. Behbud teachers received training through LRC on how to conduct online classes.

Vocational Training and Income Generation: Due to the closure of businesses during the lockdown, products were featured online on social media platforms. Sales were made and the items, delivered to the buyers and a reasonable income was generated through this venture.

Helping Hands: Ration distribution to Behbud’s wage workers, patients and families of poor students was undertaken successfully. Financial aid was also disbursed to pandemic affected families. Detailed reports of all Behbud projects are included in this Annual Report.

Acknowledgements

I extend my sincerest thanks to the Office Bearers and the Executive Committee and all Behbud members for their consistent and unstinting support. You made my work easy. My gratitude goes also to all Behbud employees for their hard work and dedication. A special acknowledgement goes to our Admin staff who made themselves available for relief work during the Covid 19 lockdown.

BEHBUD HEALTH SERVICES Effective Caring Affordable

For over 50 years Behbud Health Services (BHS) has been providing quality healthcare mainly out of its two centers: Clifton (Shirin Jinnah Colony) and Mehmoodabad, to the disadvantaged communities of the urban slums of Karachi. BHS began as a minimal health care facility dispensing over the counter medicines to women in the surrounding localities. It has morphed into a comprehensive health care service which now includes specialist clinics. This has resulted in its need continuing to grow in far flung and deprived neighborhoods.

Like all NGOs that provide healthcare, the continuing success and growth of BHS depends on three critical factors: 1. Doctors, 2. Donors and 3. Volunteers.

The Doctors: On the forefront of any healthcare system are the doctors. In Behbud, experienced and specialized doctors conduct weekly clinics in the areas of General O.P.D, Pediatrics, Diabetes and Hypertension, Skin, Gynecologist, Eye, T.B., Population Welfare etc. These highly qualified professionals are always ready to spend extra time and effort to bring relief to the underprivileged. A significant number of Behbud doctors are volunteers.

The Donors: Donors are the backbone of the BHS. They sponsor patient care by funding free medical treatment, donating necessary medicines, and providing cash donations. The generosity of the donors has made possible high quality healthcare affordable to the disadvantaged. A loyal donor is Efroze Chemicals who have donated essential medicines in the treatment of diabetes and hypertension for several years.

The Volunteers: The dedication and determination of Behbud volunteers, who are members of Behbud Association, Karachi, make the successful running of BHS possible. Each BHS project is manned by volunteers with the assistance of Behbud staff. It is their hard work and commitment that ensures the continued smooth running of BHS year after year.

Total direct beneficiaries of the Behbud Health Services 2019 – 2020:

Shirin Jinnah Center: 8758 Mehmoodabad Center: 2865

Behbud Health Services has two-fold purpose:

• To provide efficient, affordable and high quality healthcare to the communities under the supervision of skilled doctors. • To raise, in the community, awareness of health and health issues and thereby help communities to develop good health practices. The two BHS projects that do massive amount of community work in pursuit of this purpose are: T.B. & Population Welfare Project.

Every week BHS operates a total of 69 clinics in its Shirin Jinnah and Mehmoodabad Centers. This includes 37 Population Welfare clinics that operate in different poor areas of the city. The chart below gives a breakdown of the weekly Behbud clinics. Detailed reports on the different clinics follow:

BHS Clinic Name and Qty: General OPD 2 TB 8 Diabetes 2 Chest 3 Hypertension 2 Dental 1 Pediatrics 2 Eye 1 Gynecology 2 Counseling 1 Child Immunization 5 Population Welfare 37 Skin 2 Hep - C 1

However, with the rise of the corona pandemic in 2019/20, all the 69 clinics could not be operated. BHS had to follow a pared down schedule. All clinics deemed essential – T.B., Hepatitis-C, Immunization, and Diabetes and Hypertension – have continued to function strictly following the SOPs created specifically for the Behbud environment.

A significant number of the clinics mentioned in the table above are run by an arm of BHS called the Mother and Child Care Clinic (MCC). Following are the reports on clinics run by the MCC:

General O.P.D Clinic (Clifton and Mehmoodabad Centers) continues to operate as a ‘filter’ clinic. Initial examinations and diagnosis of patients are carried out in this clinic, and common ailments treated right away. Patients requiring more complex healthcare are referred to relevant Specialist Clinics.

Diabetes and Hypertension Clinic (Clifton and Mehmoodabad Centers) has become increasingly relevant in a time when the scourge of diabetes and hypertension has assumed almost epidemic proportions in the country. Despite the very low cost to the patients to whom treatment is offered at, there are a number of women who have to depend on the sponsorship scheme to be able to get treatment. Sponsorship is only possible due to the compassion and generosity of our donors. The cost of weekly medicines was raised this year due to increase in retail rates.

Beneficiaries of BP & Sugar Clinic in 2019 – 2020: 3232 Shirin Jinnah Center: 2028 Mehmoodabad Center: 1204

Co-chairperson: Mrs. Anjum Waris Co-chairperson: Mrs. Rumana Qureshi

Skin Clinic (Clifton and Mehmoodabad Centers) is a success due to the hard work and seamless communication of our doctor, staff and top of the line medicines. Ointments, scalp oil, face wash and acne medicines are all made in house. Their effectiveness and healing capabilities are unparalleled. The treatment covers a wide range of ailments including but not limited to; scabies, acne, scalp diseases, fungal infections and eczema.

Entire families are treated, because of the infectious nature of skin diseases. The clinic’s fame is spread by word of mouth by those who recover and send their friends and relatives for treatment. Patients come from all over Karachi, including areas of Landhi, Korangi, Malir, Sohrab Goth, Cattle Colony, and as far as Thatta and even Hyderabad. For this reason, there has been a spike in the number of patients coming to the Mehmoodabad clinic over the past year.

The child-bearing age women who have had 3 or more children are advised and educated about family planning and its benefits. e. If the issues of GYN patients are medical, they are treated accordingly, and if they need surgical intervention they are referred to various hospitals, like Ziauddin Kemari /Jinnah/Civil etc. f. The patients are also educated about the unnecessary use of medication and ultrasounds. g. The GYN & OB Clinic has gained popularity and patients from distant areas make an effort to reach Behbud for treatment. h. Besides medical intervention, some patients need psychological counseling so a good listening ear is provided and they are appropriately advised and educated.

Hep-C Project In early 2019, Dr. Farhat Ajmal, Chairperson of TB Project at Behbud, learnt from a PhD student at Centers for Disease Control (CDC), USA of an oral treatment of Hep-C (HC) which was short, cheap and very effective (95% percent cure rate vs. 70% for previous injectable). The idea was discussed with the TB team immediately, and on their agreement it became the basis of the HC Project. Planning the steps to be taken and sources of funding and support led to THF, and its CEO, Dr. Laila Rizvi. She offered free drugs, highly subsidized testing, training of volunteer workers and help in providing screening and testing services.

Initially 3 volunteers, Dr. Salma Sophie, Dr. Farhat Ajmal and Dr. Pervin Veerji participated in the training session conducted by Dr. Huma Qureshi, the WHO focus person for HC in Pakistan. Later 2 more volunteers, Dr. Saba Hashmi and Dr. Naushin Zaidi were also trained.

It was decided that the HC Project will function along with TB Project under the chairperson of Dr. Farhat Ajmal and Co-chair Dr. Saba. Dr. Salma and Dr. Naushin working exclusively for HC.

MOU with THF After funds were collected and basic work completed, approval sought from Behbud Executive Directors, a meeting was arranged between Behbud Executive Directors, Dr. Laila Rizvi of THF and TB team members. Executive Committee members were also invited to observe. Dr. Laila Rizvi brought a prepared MOU which she shared with Behbud executives. After scrutiny they agreed and the MOU was signed by Dr. Laila Rizvi of THF and Dr. Farhat Ajmal, Chairperson of HEP-C and TB Project.

Objectives: • To help Govt. of Pakistan control and prevent the spread of HC disease in Pakistan, 2nd highest prevalence worldwide. • Early diagnosis and treatment of HC to achieve at least 95% cure rate. • To prevent late diagnosis and deaths due to liver failure and cancer. • To raise awareness among community about importance of going to Behbud HC Clinic for early testing and treatment. • Informing people and medical professionals of causes of spread of this disease.

Budget: Based on the 1st weekly clinic’s experience, the monthly cost was calculated and a donor located. The Majeed and Margaret Trust committed one year’s expenses from January 2020.

Certain preparatory steps; Social mobilization, Awareness raising activities, Talks with the community, Behbud OPD, and distribution of pamphlets and fliers took place very early in 2019.

A total figure obtained through social mobilization in early 2019 is 44,438.

Operational Practices: Preparatory Steps:

Mr. Ahad, the THF coordinator was assigned to help set-up the HC clinic. It was decided to start with a weekly clinic on Wednesday in S.J. Centre. Mr. Ahad and TB team examined the location and chose the terrace next to TB clinic and an unused room of MCC, adjacent to the terrace was selected for M.O with the permission of MCC Chairperson.

The terrace is prepared and spacious enough for the project activities which include screening, selection of cases suitable for testing, initial rapid test, registration of case for further test at the IPL lab desk and ultimately, if positive, sent to M.O for treatment.

Practical Steps:

In the M.O’s clinic

• Examination of patient for suitability for treatment. • Decision regarding treatment. • Drugs supplied each month to patients for a period of three months. • Follow-up, recall mechanism to ensure regularity. • Lab test after completion of treatment to decide if cured. • Record keeping and data management.

Industrial Home Clifton The Clifton project was set up in 1995. The trainees in this project are taught basic and advanced sewing and cutting, machine and hand embroidery. Duration for both courses is four months. The girls are given a test at the end of each term. Their attendance and classwork are also assessed.

The Industrial Home is registered with Sindh Board of Technical Education Karachi. The girls can sit for one year certificate course, two years diploma course and three years additional course. This year three girls sat for Board Exams.

Four additional compulsory subjects were added to the syllabus this year. These are • Block printing • Grooming • Cooking • Crafts Introductory lessons are given in each subject to familiarize the girls with them if they want to join the classes later. The fee structure was revised and the syllabus was changed to bring it in line with production needs. Three of the staff are former students. There is a great scope for talented girls to work in Behbud Production Projects.

Extra lessons in embroidery were given once a week. These are • Kacha Tanka • Kaamdani • Sindhi Embroidery • Taarkashi • Crochet Orientation days were held at the beginning of each term to familiarize newly admitted girls and their guardians with Behbud and what it stands for. The staff and management were introduced and talks were given on Behbud’s expectation from the training, which also teaches them responsible citizenship and decent social behavior. Prizes were given to outstanding students of the previous term followed by light refreshment.

Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) has very kindly sponsored training of 30 students under their CSR program of vocational training. Twenty two girls were interviewed and selected in Clifton center and eight girls in Mehmoodabad center. The training

Tots To Teens Vision: Equal Opportunities for All in Society Mission: Provide income opportunities to low income families. Generate funds to support welfare activities of Behbud

Tots to teens, located in Mehmoodabad, continues to be the major source of income for Behbud. It is managed by a team of dedicated volunteers headed by Ms. Shahnaz Ansari.

The team is responsible for: • Conceptualizing patterns and designs for children’s clothes. • Setting production targets. • Quality control of stitched garments. • Funds management: bulk purchase of fabrics and payments to workers. • Liaison with Behbud Creations for stock / production control. The core workers comprise of 45 experienced women who outsource work to maximum 3-10 women in their respective communities. This requires close supervision and scrutiny. In this way entire communities get involved and benefits may accrue to nearly 400 families, thereby achieving our stated mission and vision of economic improvement of underprivileged members of society. Earning per core worker averages Rs. 11,000/= varying from Rs. 3,000/= to Rs. 35000/= per week.

The workers are our valued assets, and have been working loyally with us in some cases for 35 years. They are dedicated, committed and highly skilled in their particular

fields of expertise. Their payment is calculated per piece and payment is made promptly at the time of delivery of finished goods. A dedicated and reliable Behbud employee oversees administration, stock control, payments and accounts .

Products and productivity

Each worker completes 12 to 20 joras per week on the average. The range is from newly born to 12 years. We have 50 designs to work with. The aim is to introduce new designs almost every week. Behbud workers hire women from their community, train them and utilize their skills to increase production for Behbud. Boys: Shalwar/ kurtas, sherwani, waistcoats, sleeping suits: Cottons for daily wear or fancy for weddings/ parties. Little Girls: The best-selling item remains smocking dresses, a product unique to Behbud Karachi. Over the years concerted effort has been made to revive the art of smocking and workers have been trained to produce high quality dresses. These continue to be in great demand both nationally and internationally. Older Girls: Gharara and farshi gharara are in great demand both locally and overseas. Made both in silk and cotton with exquisite stitching, adorned with beautiful trimming & laces in silver and gold. Pricing: As a matter of policy the prices are kept very competitive, lower than the prevailing market rates, thus ensuring high volume sales and turnover. Sales: Sales this year was relatively low due to suspension of all commercial and business activities due to the Covid-19 epidemic. The management introduced online sales which proved to be a success. We intend to sustain this activity due to the positive response from this online venture.

Annual Output: 5320 suits Orders Completed 66

Charity during Ramadan: As per tradition and practice of charity, Behbud volunteers have contributed towards rations and joras (outfits) to the workers. Therefore, as per tradition, sizeable number of workers were handed rations during lockdown in two rounds and then again in Ramzan. In the fourth and final round, workers were facilitated with their request for cash.

Goals: Work towards empowering women working for us. Encourage them to improve their standard and quality of work produced and to guide them towards being innovative and creative and the progress towards introducing new ideas and goals. Help the women gain self-confidence.

Issues: The one vehicle available at the centre is heavily committed to running errands for the medical team that is seldom free for our work. This continues to be a problem.

Recommendations:

• Urgent need to employ expert for quality control. • Develop on-line sales activity. • More volunteers are needed. Total Beneficiaries: 52

It was a huge challenge but the team finished the work in time and got well deserved appreciation for their effort. Three embroidered panels were displayed at Alliance France’ as a part of Karachi Biennale-2019. The girls who had worked on the panels were invited to Alliance France’ for a group photo and received a small gift. • Shortly after, the production team worked on another order to supply six embroidered murals depicting village scenes of Pakistan.

Behbud Creations Behbud Creation is the retail outlet for the product line made by women who are taught and integrated into the Behbud wage worker work force, Empowerment of these women is an essential part of Behbud’s mission. With this aim in sight, they have been trained to stitch, embroider or block print, home linens, clothing traditional and modern for children and a pret line for ladies all which are very popular.To ensure continuity of work for these women, it is especially important to sell what they produce. We sell to create work for their cause.

This year sales have been adversely impacted by the on-going lock-down enforced by the government. Despite the easing of lock-down, the flow of customers left much to be desired, due to restricted timings.

The shop had an infestation of termites which caused damage to part of the wood-work. The necessary repair cost approximated Rs. 72510/-. We are grateful for the efforts made by our members; Nighat Zuberi, who secured Rs.100,000/- toward this expense. Another donation of Rs. 25,000/- was raised through a friend of Behbud. Yet another donor bore the cost of repairs of the 3 air-conditioners in the shop, amounting to Rs. 18,000/- which included cost of spare parts and gas refill.

Cost of the brown paper shopping bags printed with Behbud Logo, continues to be shared by a friend of Behbud’s 25% being contribution.

On a happy note, this year the customers were most appreciative of the new designs and better finish of all items.

Goal:

An aggressive advertising campaign by professionals is the requirement in view of the growing competition from well-known brands that are the trend-setters.

Efforts are being made to introduce on-line selling in order to widen the customer base.

Contact has been established with Daraz, a well-known on-line selling site. This has been necessitated by the fact that customers still remain wary about physical visits to shops. It is hoped that this facility will improve the sales considerably.

HELPING HANDS

The objective of Helping Hands is to help women financially with the pressing issues in their lives. The key issue is education and support is given to women who are unable to finance the education of their children. The incomes of the applicants is assessed, the fee structure checked of the selected schools and interviews of the children carried to ensure that only the needy are being assisted. After a thorough enquiry 50% of school tuition is given, in cases of extreme poverty, books etc are provided by the project. Report cards are scrutinized annually to assess performance and sometimes random tests are administered in Math and English.

During the Covid-19 lockdown rations were distributed to Behbud’s wage workers, patients and families of poor students in four rounds. After accessing their financial position, monetary help was also extended in some cases. Alongside this, communication was maintained with the regular beneficiaries in order to keep abreast of their occurring issues and problems in order to resolve them in the best possible way.

Gently-loved clothes sales Helping Hands project conducted sporadic sales of slightly used formal wear clothes in 2019- 2020. The most recent one was when lockdown was eased just before Eid-ul- Azha. The amount generated by these sales totaled Rs.500,000/.

Thrift Shop Karachi Behbud Association has encouraged donation of gently loved/used clothes, kitchen and household items for reselling in the Thrift shop at Clifton Complex and the White Elephant stall at the Spring Fiesta. It was realized that these items have the potential of generating sizable revenue if run like a regular store all year. In February 2020 a plan was worked out to get this project going. The first challenge was clearing and sorting the backlog of cartons filled with donated items from the three storage rooms. The rooms require repair and renovation once they are cleared. We are extremely grateful to Behbud President Naheed Viqar for generously giving her time every week in helping clear these rooms.

Record of amount collected Spring Fiesta in February 2020: Rs. 200,780/- Clifton complex July 2019 to June 2020: Rs. 23,260/- Sales August 2020 till September 2020: Rs. 51,500/-

Goal To clean and organize items in the storage rooms, the renovation plan includes paint, installing proper electric fixtures and mounted wooden shelves/cupboards to store items in good condition protecting them from dust and climate corrosion.

A humble request Members and friends are requested to donate clothes and household items not damaged but in good reusable condition. Donated clothes should be clean and ironed to help those we help keep their dignity.

FINANCE REPORT 2019-2020

The Objectives of the Finance Department at Behbud Association, Karachi are to:

• Coordinate financial planning and budgeting to ensure that resources for all project activities at Behbud are anticipated in advance and Executive Committee is made aware of resources needed. • Track progress of various Behbud projects, compare budgets with actual expenses, forecast remainder of the year’s needs and inform Executive Committee Members of shortfalls and excesses in resources. • Facilitate Behbud projects with timely provision of cash as required and as available. • Maintain accounts as per accepted standards and ethical values. • Liaise with banks and investment companies to secure the best available return for Behbud.

The financial year 2019 – 2020 was a highly unusual year for which organizations– commercial, NGOs, NPOs or even governments, worldwide were ill prepared. Globally, organizations and individuals have suffered and continue to suffer the negative health, social and financial impact of the pandemic.

Behbud Association Karachi too, experienced four (4) months of inactivity and shut down from March to June 2020. While administrative and coordination staff, observing prescribed health and safety SOPs, kept attending office to ensure that financial aid to pandemic affected families continued unhindered and that routine accounting and administrative tasks were taken care of, nevertheless, all Behbud schools and college, most of the medical clinics and vocational training activities came to a standstill. Sales of Behbud handicrafts also ceased during this period. All this caused a severe financial strain on Behbud especially, since the Executive Committee, keeping Behbud’s mission to support the underprivileged, took a decision to provide those in need with rations for three months running. Further the Behbud staff was paid salaries in full and on time for all the months of inactivity. Expenses continued as usual but the inflows coming from Behbud projects were lacking to cover these expenses. Donor contributions too reduced significantly due to the adverse financial impact of Covid-19 related lockdowns.

After two consecutive highly profitable years with robust excess of inflows over outflows, the outcome of the last four (4) pandemic strained months of the year has resulted in a substantially reduced profit of Rs. 2.40 million for the financial year ending June 30, 2020. The details on inflows and outflows are given on following pages with tables and graphs for greater clarity.

While event Income, from Spring Fiesta held at the beginning of 2020 was a healthy Rs. 9.9 million, it registered a decrease of 12.85% from previous year. This was mainly because two fund raising events were held in the previous year while only one could be held in this one.

The Investment Income for the year was Rs. 13 million which shows an increase of 79.18% over the previous year. The increase can mainly be attributed to improved bank returns but we must also give credit to the Finance and Accounting staff who ensured judicious and timely investment of surplus funds.

Zakat and Donations evidenced a decrease over previous year of 19.86%, on account of negative financial impact suffered by individual and organizational donors in the last quarter of the financial year.

Project Income decreased by 11.38% as compared to the previous financial year. Parents stopped paying school fees during the closure period. Except for TB and Hepatitis C clinics all other medical clinics were suspended resulting in no medical fees coming in. Vocational training classes were closed as was handicraft and product sale through the Behbud Creation shop and all product exhibitions.

During the financial year 2019-2020 very few members paid their annual membership fee. As every incoming rupee counts for Behbud’s operation, this shortfall was acutely felt.

While inflows were adversely affected and seriously so, overall expenses registered an increase over the previous financial year. Project Expenses marginally increased by 1.62%. The reason for this increase can be attributed to net effect of normal annual salary increment and upward salary band adjustment for teaching staff.

Event Expenses too increased by 45.90% from the previous year, mainly due to the additional marketing collateral developed for Behbud’s 50 years celebration (which was to be used for multiple events that could not take place) and increased security measures at the venue.

Administrative Expenses increased by 5.38% on account of the addition of a much- needed Human Resource staff, routine salary increments, completion of office renovation and increased depreciation.

With the year-end reduced profitability, our cash flow position evidenced a marginal reduction of 0.89% over the previous financial year.

Despite every challenge, as a step towards sustainability, we were able to add an additional Rs. 5 million to our Endowment Fund and as at June 30, 2020, this stands at Rs. 92 million.

I would like to thank all those associated with Behbud, including the Staff, Office Bearers, the Executive Committee, Behbud Members and Donors for the support and cooperation extended towards averting, what could have been a financially ruinous period for an organization such as ours. We still anticipate difficult times ahead in the new financial year and must together find ways to successfully continue to provide education, medical assistance, vocational skills and income opportunities to Behbud’s many beneficiaries.

How can you help? What a changed world — the ongoing pandemic, natural calamities and their crippling impacts on our society. A year we may want to forget. But we cannot. The widening inequalities between the rich and the poor needs immediate and drastic action to negate this gap. Covid-19 has led to lost incomes, loss of homes and left a huge gap in education. The need to act is therefore now! We’ve seen how our positive actions—no matter how small they may seem—impact those around us decisively, especially the already distressed.

So, donate now and help Behbud Association, Karachi lessen the widening gap. Behbud a trusted and established NGO, has been helping the disadvantaged for over 50 years.
